174 Chapter 174 Waiting For The Results
“Of course, we will give you the blood! Your elder sister just turned 25, and she’s in the prime of her life. She can’t just die like this!” Mrs. Wang firmly nodded.
After that, she dragged her daughter to Gu Chengrui.
Seeing this, Gu Ziyi did not dispute further.
Gu Chengrui immediately turned around and went to the west room. He took out a small porcelain bottle and a small blade to take three drops of blood from her finger. “I’ll try to find out what poison it is as soon as possible.”
“Alright, thank you. I’ll leave now and wait for your news. Let us know as soon as you have any results.” Mrs. Wang turned to leave.
“Mother, let’s go.” Gu Ziyi turned around and walked out with Mrs. Wang after saying their goodbyes.
Zhou Ying saw they had something on their minds and didn’t ask them to stay. Instead, she sent them out and placed Gu Chengrui in her interspace after returning to the house.
She then brought Er Zhuang up the mountain.
Although the mountain was pretty barren and desolate, it shone a lovely golden color under the sun. Sparrows chirping could be heard from time to time, painting a picture full of vitality.
When she and her dog arrived at the Mother God Temple halfway up the mountain, Zhou Ying immediately remembered her previous nightmares.
She walked in and looked at the shabby Mother God Temple. She wet the ground with water and took a broom to clean up, cleaning up the cobwebs near the Mother God statue too.
However, she didn’t dare to touch the Mother God statue, as she was afraid she would break it into pieces if she did.
Finally, she kept her cleaning tools in her interspace and bowed deeply three times before leaving the Mother God temple.
She took Er Zhuang for another walk around the area, and finally, the two reached a river.
Through the thin layer of ice, she could see that there were still plenty of large fish in the river.
She suddenly got playful and made Er Zhuang step back. She then lifted a large rock and threw it into the river.
Sure enough, the ice layer broke. The fish inside immediately leaped through the hole, and Zhou Ying was shocked to find that some of the big fish looked heavier than five pounds.
However, after a few big fish lashed their tails around, the ice around them broke. The fish fell back into the river and swam away.
But more and more fish were jumping out of the hole, big and small.
“Woof woof.” Er Zhuang suddenly rushed out, which startled Zhou Ying. She quickly shouted, “Er Zhuang, come back!”
However, Er Zhuang had already rushed in. Perhaps it was due to its light body and quick speed, but it didn’t break the fine ice layer and brought back a large fish weighing about three pounds.
When Er Zhuang returned, it brought the fish to her feet and barked twice, wagging its tail and demanding praise.
Zhou Ying patted its head. “You’re not allowed to go in again. Otherwise, you won’t be having dinner tonight.”
She had all kinds of fish in her interspace, so she didn’t want Er Zhuang to lose his life because of some fish.
“I never knew that you had such a mischievous side.” Qian Zhuang’s voice sounded as he came down from the mountain, followed by Gu Erjiang, carrying a hatchet.
“It’s the new year, and you two are going up the mountain to chop firewood?” Zhou Ying looked at the hatchet in their hands and asked.
“Yeah, there hasn’t been enough firewood since the new year. So, I’ve been staying at Brother Qian’s house. Otherwise, I’d freeze to death.” Gu Erjiang laughed dryly.
“You just had to be lazy, didn’t you? You would have been frozen to death, so let’s see if you’ll still be this lazy next time. Also, take the fish.” Zhou Ying continued. “Take this for another dish for tonight’s dinner.”
After that, she led Er Zhuang down the mountain. Otherwise, ugly rumors might spread if someone else saw them together on the mountain.
On the other hand, Qian Zhuang and Gu Hanjiang had their eyes on the fish.
As soon as Zhou Ying returned to the village, she saw Tieniu and the other children playing a game of catch. Their happy voices lingered around the village for a long time.
Thinking about her own childhood, she couldn’t help but feel envious. At the same time, she silently promised to give her future child a happy childhood.
